Abstract

Abstract Antarctic research remains an enterprise in which people with certain backgrounds and identities have distinct career advantages over others. In this paper, we focus on barriers to women's participation and success in Antarctic research. Drawing on feminist social science literature on gender inequality in science, we identify two foundational, interrelated factors that have hampered progress across global Antarctic research. We propose that these barriers can be effectively addressed through intersectional approaches to change. We synthesize a broad range of multidisciplinary research on intersectionality in scientific workplaces and apply this literature to the unique institutional, historical and geographical contexts of Antarctic research. We argue that an intersectional lens improves understanding of persistent gender inequalities in Antarctic research, and we offer examples of how intersectionality can be practically applied within Antarctic institutions and communities. By embracing intersectional approaches to change, the Antarctic research community has the opportunity to lead in the advancement of equitable global scientific cultures and to fully realize Antarctica's potential as a place for peaceful, scientific collaboration by and for all humanity - not just a privileged few.
对南极研究中性别变化的交叉方法
南极研究仍然是一项事业,在这项事业中,具有特定背景和身份的人比其他人具有明显的职业优势。在本文中,我们关注的是女性参与南极研究并取得成功的障碍。根据关于科学中性别不平等的女权主义社会科学文献,我们确定了阻碍全球南极研究进展的两个基本的、相互关联的因素。我们建议,这些障碍可以通过交叉的方法来有效地解决。我们综合了科学工作场所交叉性的广泛多学科研究,并将这些文献应用于南极研究的独特制度,历史和地理背景。我们认为,交叉视角可以提高对南极研究中持续存在的性别不平等的理解,并且我们提供了如何在南极机构和社区中实际应用交叉性的例子。通过采用交叉的方法来改变,南极研究界有机会在促进公平的全球科学文化方面发挥领导作用,并充分实现南极洲作为全人类——而不仅仅是少数享有特权的人——进行和平、科学合作的地方的潜力。

期刊介绍: Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.
